Inventor: WADAGAKI YASUZO
IPC: F01D1/02
Filed: 1911-03-01
Granted: 1911-12-21
Abstract: 5151. Wadagaki, Y. March 1. [Addition to 28,224/08.] Working-fluid supply; exhaust, disposing of. -Relates to improvements in the invention described in the parent Specification wherein the exhaust from a steam turbine is used to drive an auxiliary turbine coupled to a centrifugal compressor, which increases the pressure of the main steam supply. The main steampipe 1, Fig. 1, conveys live steam to a centrifugal compressor 2 driven by an auxiliary turbine 7, Fig. 2. The main turbine 4, coupled to the propeller shaft 5, and the compressor 2 are placed together within a single casing. A large portion of the steam exhausting from the turbine 4 is re-introduced to the compressor 2 and again utilized. A quantity of exhaust steam equal to the amount supplied through the main steam-pipe 1 is conveyed by a pipe 16 to the auxiliary turbine 7. An astern turbine 14 is provided for reversing.

Inventor: ANDERSON CHARLES HAROLD
IPC: B42F21/08
Filed: 1911-05-12
Granted: 1912-05-02
Abstract: 11,492. Anderson, C. H. May 12. No Patent granted (Sealing fee not paid). Clips, sheet-metal.-A clip suitable for use as a paper-fastener comprises two metallic members A, B, Fig. 1, to one A of which, by a particular formation, a spring buckling action is imparted of such a character that, on the member A being deflected in one direction, the free ends of the two members are caused to close on each other, Fig. 1, while on the member A being deflected in the other direction, the free ends separate and remain apart, Fig. 3, so as to permit the insertion of leaves, papers, etc. The treatment by which the buckling effect is obtained consists in placing the member A on a concave die and striking it so as to produce a domed portion E; the member is then reversed and struck at the point E on the other side. In order to open the clip from the closed position, Fig. 1, it is only necessary to press on the domed portion E; to close it again, the free ends must be pressed together. The two members A, B may be formed from a single strip, either by bending the strip upon itself or by stamping out a tongue from the strip. The free end of one or both of the members may be constructed to form a pointer, or the connected ends of the clip may be provided with indicating numerals.

Granted: 1912-04-18
Abstract: 12,738. Wengler, K. R. A. May 26. Carbonizing - apparatus. - In apparatus for coking or carbonizing peat &c., of the kind in which the gases produced are withdrawn by means of a steam jet, and, after condensation, are returned to and burnt in the oven, the gases leaving the oven are first cooled in an expansion chamber, and the separation of the condensable from the non-condensable gases is completed in a chamber outside the oven. As shown, the oven is divided into two chambers B, B' by a partition m, and the charging-hopper is similarly divided so that the oven may work continuously, a fresh charge being placed in one part of the oven while the other part contains an incandescent charge. The gases are withdrawn through the pipe g by steam jets e<1> e<2> and passed through an expansion chamber F, the cross-section of which is considerably greater than that of the pipe g, to a chamber E. The non-condensable gases are returned to the oven by pipes f, r, q. The water condensed in the chamber E is passed to a boiler I heated by the coke cooling in the chamber C, the steam produced being passed through a superheating pipe i arranged round the carbonizing-chamber to the jets e<1>, e<2>. Part of the heat of the cooling-coke is conducted through a pipe p to the charging-hopper.

Granted: 1912-11-28
Abstract: 9216. Soc. Anon. des Automobiles et Cycles Peugeot. April 19, 1911, [Convention date]. Vibration-dampers. - Relates to frictional shock - absorbers for use in conjunction with vehicle springs and of the type comprising exterior friction plates connected for example, to the frame, internal plates connected to the axle, and floating intermediate plates having curved slots of different lengths in which a pin on the exterior or interior plates engages so as to cause a progressive increase in the frictional resistance according to the deflexion of the springs, the floating plates being provided with a detachable lever for testing the degree of frictional resistance. According to the invention, the arm of the floating plate is arranged diametrically opposite to the other arms, and is provided with a finger for testing the frictional resistance without the use of a separate tool. Fig. 2 shows in part sectional plan one arrangement in which a plate e attached to the vehicle frame is con nected by a central bolt a with an outer plate e'. Mounted upon the bolt a by concentric hubs are inner plates i, i' connected with the axle by a joint g, and an intermediate floating plate c having an eye c<2> engaging over a pin f attached to the plate e. Between the various plates, friction washers h made of fibre or leather are arranged and packings k of similar material are arranged between the hubs. For small vibrations the plate c moves with the plates i, i' and two friction surfaces only are operative, but for large vibrations the plate c is held by the contact of the pin f with the end of the slot c<2> and four friction surfaces are brought into operation. The plate c is provided with a finger c<3> which allows of verifying by hand the frictional resistance of the shock-absorber without unmounting any part of the same. The frictional resistance between the plates can be adjusted by a nut l bearing against a spring washer m. Fig. 3 shows a modification in which springs r, r<1> are arranged between extensions c<4>, c<5> on the arm c' of the plate c and a finger p carried by the plate e, to prevent sudden passage from the small to the large resistance.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Mechanical Piano Players and like Instruments.
Filed: 1912-06-22
Granted: 1913-02-27
Abstract: 14,630. Grimsdale, W. H., and Grimsdale's Patents, Ltd. June 22. Actions; expression-controlling; tracker-bars. -Relates to expression-controlling means of the kind described in Specification 4942/08, in which tune-sheet apertures of varying widths admit air to dash-pots or bellows connected to the note-operating pneumatics. According to the present invention, the dash-pots or bellows are normally controlled through valves from the tracker-bar. Means are provided for admitting air to the dash-pots or bellows through manuallyoperated valves. A tune-sheet aperture registers first with the duct f and subsequently with the duct b to operate the primary and secondary valves c, d in the usual way. The note-operating pneumatic e therefore collapses. If the amount of air admitted to the duct f is sufficient, the bellows g expands to open the valve h and a loud note is struck. If the valve h is not opened, the pressure in the expanding bellows l falls and a soft note is struck, air being sucked into the channel k through the bleed-hole q. The size of the bleedhole q may be adjustable. The loudness of the note sounded is determined by the lift of the valve h and therefore by the width of the tunesheet aperture. A valve m may be provided to release the air in the bellows l on the upward stroke. To accentuate a note manually, a valve may be provided to admit air to the bellows l. Alternatively, air may be admitted to the tracker-pipe in connexion with the duct f by opening the rocking valve p controlling the duct o. The valve p may control one or several notes.

If the drive be anti - clockwise, the lever 10 will engage the fixed stop 12 and the disk 1 will be stopped. The sprocket 3 continues to turn and strain the springs 4, and at the same time the pin 7 moves forward and bearing against the tail of the lever 10 forces the nose 11 out of engagement with the stop 12; the springs 4 being released they suddenly contract and rapidly accelerate the armature to the required speed. At high speeds the device is thrown out of action, as centrifugal force moves the lever 10 outwards till the hook 13 stops against the stud 7. With stiff springs, the use of the hook 13 is not essential.
